About these figures.Matador doesn't report a gross profit; the only cost of sales its filings tag is a small line for its midstream and purchased-oil business, so gross profit and gross margin are left blank. Matador's filings to 2021 tag its senior notes, its credit line and its midstream subsidiary's credit line separately, with no total (2018 and 2019 show the notes alone), so debt and debt-based ratios are left blank in every year, to keep the years comparable.

Is it selling more, and how much does it keep?
Results dates
In plain words: Every quarter, companies publish how much they sold and earned. These are the days Matador Resources did it, and the next one. Share prices often move a lot on those days.
From SEC filings: the results press release (8-K) or, without one, the quarterly or annual report.
Revenue and margins
KIRAΒ· Matador Resources had $3.7B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 5.5% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +33.8% a year on average. Its operating margin was 33.2%, down 7.8Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about 33 is left after running the business.
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).
KIRAΒ· Matador Resources made $759M of net profit in fiscal 2025.
Loss periods are shown in red.
In plain words: Net income is the profit left after every cost and tax. Earnings per share (EPS) splits that profit across every share, so it shows what one share earned.
KIRAΒ· Free cash flow was $270M in fiscal 2025, 7.3% of revenue.
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
In plain words: Profit on paper is not the same as cash in the bank. Free cash flow is the cash left after paying to run and maintain the business: the money it can hand back to shareholders, save or invest.
KIRAΒ· Matador Resources returned $219M to shareholders in fiscal 2025, 81% of free cash flow. The diluted share count rose 0.4%.
In plain words: Companies hand cash back in two ways: dividends (cash paid to shareholders) and buybacks (buying back their own shares, so each remaining share owns a bigger slice).
KIRAΒ· In the last 12 months, insiders bought $1.4M of shares on the open market and sold none.
Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. βPlanβ marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.
Can it carry its debts, and how well does it use its money?
Balance sheet
Cash, debt and the ratios that show how comfortably Matador Resources can carry it.
In plain words: What the company owns and what it owes. More cash than debt is a cushion for bad times; a lot of debt leaves less room when business slows down.

Change the assumptions and see what they imply per share. These are models, not forecasts or price targets β the answer depends entirely on what you put in.
In plain words: Move the sliders to try your own guesses about growth. The result is what one share would be worth if those guesses came true. Different guesses give very different answers.
